You absolutely CAN put 18x10's on the front. It gives it a more aggressive stance, IMO. It will tramline, but it's not a big deal. I run 275 tires on the front and don't mind. It's worth it for the extra cornering grip IMO. It will also let you rotate your tires. If this is just a street car that will never see track time or AutoX, I don't think it would be worth dealing with the tramlining, though.

Well, obviously, I don't know what I'm talking about. So, I might as well admit it and ask questions so I can learn. What's tramlining?

It's whenever your front tires follow the grooves in the road. It's not violent, just annoying. For instance, if you're driving on a highway with the grooves from trucks, your car will "pull" toward them and want to follow them. It's hard to explain, but once you feel it, you will know exactly what it is. You would be like "oh, THAT'S tramlining"

Exactly. The Roushs run 18x10 on all four corners with 275/40/18 tires. I have the roush wheels and i havent noticed any negative effects while driving. The GT500 runs 18x9.5 on all four corners. You can do it.

I love my 20x10s all the way around, and I have no rubbing issues at all...

see I got mixed feelings again, I really do like the who idea of 18x10s all around because they will not only match but I can rotate them since its mostly a street car but will see some fun track time too.

any more opinions?

I have Roush 18x10's all around and they look great and as already mentioned, I can rotate them with no concerns. That's all Roush uses.

as like most things, its mainly personal preference. If it was a bad idea i doubt it'd be on the Roushs. I'm sure there was some testing that went in to it and they didnt just say, "hey, lets see what happens". Whatever you decide will be fine. Just be sure to get the right offset
